John Knepp, the new miller at
Paxtonville is running mill wagon
to our town twice week, and he re-
spectfully solicits trial Of his flour.
Our Band furnished music for the
New Berlin Commencement this year.
They return every night after the
exercises and sloepier set OF boys
during the day are hard to fluid.
Persons out in the woods at this
season OF the year will find gnats and
mosquitoes extremity annoying. To
get rid OF the pests rub your hands
and face we'll with oil Of tar and you
will experience no further annoy
unce.
We have never met true South
srner who did not come over the
same stereotyped story, viz Before
the war my father was worth hun
dred thousand dollars after the war
he wasn't worth a hundred cents"
What bothers us Is where all this
wealth got to.

We have heard men denounce the
nlthiness of tobacco whose foul breath
caused by decayed teeth-would
have attracted the attention OF q
buzzard milo. Tobacco il bad, de-
cayed teeth are terrible, and he
who would preach upon the iilthines'
the former should visit Il dentist nj
lenst once n year or learn to talk
through his nose.
DIR. Hall, the eminent Now York
physician prescribes the following
remedy for snake-b bite Tie the limt
Tightly above the bite-to prevent
the poisoned blood froru returning tc
the heart. Then crush the leaves o
any three plauts within reach an,
avp,v it Oh the wound. The poison
OF the snake Is acid and the cure |
alkali and there are no three plant
growing without one OF them con
tanning sufficient alkali to ncutraliz
the poison. Then All then patient wit
whiskey-which he claims, is the onl
thing it is good for.
AS the woodcock season opens Jul
|, and many of our oldest hunter
ldon't know what woodcOck H., "
rise to explain that it is not the blacI
red>headed Indian hen or any othe
bird that alights on II tree. The oil
familiar nnne for it is "butter snipe,
g aud is found in marshy places wher
they may be traced by the holC
bored into the soft ground by the
t long slim bills while in search I
: worms. They not only afford ns iiu
sport Mt wing shooting as can /
found but are az fine eating as an
lbird that flies "across the wild moor
Now let us to the woodland hi
v where trees their verdue wrap, Il
"a spring no longer fingers in, old bur
winters lap. In picnic garb we
amble forth and sit beneath the tree
$ and have our hides all chopped M
y hacked, with the sting OF Lumt
bees. Well gaily don our linen coat
a and thin seersucker pants, and
Il beside the gurgling stream, while o
us crawl the ants. Wen swallo
picnic lemonade, to noistcn dov
u the grub, which people made by soa
ia ing, one cheap lemon in II tub. L.
guileless sandwich we shall eat, d
ut your the clammy pie, and sit
i. bowls OF custard, while n tear ru
down our eye. Wen tip the musta
- in the jam, the pepper in the tea, n
20 try with all our might to show til
:" we are filed with glee. Then let
to the picnic HE, our basket in O
W hand, and homeward come filled
Ii with woe and leaves and dust n
sand.
